ts, and uncompromisingly opposing
the native liquor traffic. In 1901 he went to the Transvaal as chief
justice of that colony. Sir Thomas Fuller, a Cape Town representative,
though he remained outside office, gave staunch support to every
enlightened liberal and progressive measure which was brought forward. A
man of exceptional culture and eloquence, he made his influence felt,
not only in politics, but in journalism and the best social life of the
Cape peninsula. From 1902 to 1908 he held the office of agent-general of
the colony in London.

In literature, the colony has produced at least two authors whose works
have taken their place among those of the best English writers of their
day. The _History of South Africa_, by Mr G. McCall Theal, will remain a
classic work of reference. The careful industry and the lucidity which
characterize Mr Theal's work stamp him as a historian of whom South
Africa may well be proud. In fiction, Olive Schreiner (Mrs
Cronwright-Schreiner) produced, while still in her teens, the _Story of
an African Farm_, a work which gave great promise of original literary
genius. Unfortunately, she, in common with the rest of South Africa, was
subsequently swept into the seething vortex of contemporary politics and
controversy. In music and painting there have been artists of talent in
the Cape Colony, but the country is still too young, and the conditions
of life too disturbed, to allow such a development as has already
occurred in Australia.
